        Thanks mate! I'm keen for an early 15 lot. I'll send you a bag from down here too. If I'm buying and sending bags, anyone else up for a trade?

          I'd be interested in a trade Sometime in January,. The most interesting roasteries available to me easily are heart from portland, Phil and sebastiens from calgary, ritual From sanfransico, supersonic from Berkeley and occasionally drop out of sweden . Check them out and if you'd be into it I'd be down for a trade for sure. The Corvus McLain posted sounds really great as well, so I'd be into sendings stuff south if you have any interest as well.

          My good friend josh also recently started working for origin roasters in the uk as well, so hopefully I could get something interesting out of him for a trade as well

            I would add Dogwood as an offering too. I am personally more into single source bags for the most part.

              So I'm starting to think I could do with a new grinder. I've fused the handle of the Hario to the central column…Least it's not snapped yet..however, from experience, that's only a few months away.

              Which hand grinders have all ya'll picked up in the last 6-9 months or so? Do Knock's Hausgrind get up? Is Lido 2 all the rage? Did something smash them both up? Always filter beans, of course.

              I'm averaging a hand grinder every 1.5 years, with a RRP of between $30-60, so if it's $200-300 it's going to have to last at least a few years and or be more consistent with the grind....

              So help me out, what's the go? TIA!

                    @DanielAFC which electric are you using? I've had a few before but never been impressed with either the size, grind, cleaning, or space they take up.

                    @Foxy, thanks for the reply. Not sure it's up to my heavy duty addiction. I'm after a work-horse than can deal with heavy daily usage 😕 🙂

                      I have not seen or heard of anybody wearing Zassehausen out, the small or bigger one - they come with a  25 year warranty.
                      I think the more important questions are: do you want a ceramic or (stainless) steel grinder, how much coffee do you grind in one go, how exact are you about the grinding grade and how much physical effort you (want to) put into it…

                        Great reply Foxy :). I did check the grinder out, they look like the bespoke grinder for light use. Couple with the statement 'occasionally uses' was enough for me to assume as such.

                        I'm still down with the Ceramic Burr grinders, that said @JCar2666 did blow my mind a while ago and I'm open to steel.

                        I grind around 21-22gms a go. I grind @ Medium Coarse (http://ineedcoffee.com/coffee-grind-chart/), and don't mind a bit of arm work. I expect to spend 1-1.5mins grinding of a morning, but like to walk around the house doing so.

                          Snowy, it's nothing special at all. A breville that I bought a couple years back when I didn't consider things as much. But it sticks around as it is fairly easy to clean, gives a fairly consistent grind and isn't plagued by static buildup like many other lowish priced electrics.

                            I have a Barazta that I like, a conical electric burr grinder, but it has stainless and not ceramic burrs.

                            Think it, be it.

                              Purchased the Lido 2 today after reading MANY reviews on the extremely bad customer service by Knock. A lot of people are having to start paypal disputes to get a reply to their e-mail, and often then it's still hit or miss if it'll ship or a refund.

                                Lido looks nice. Might get one of those if mine ever stops working.

                                Just came across this beauty. V60 in Copper. Kettle is nice too but I use an electric one. Def need to get one.

                                  I'll let you know how it goes and compare against the Hario I've got at the mo. I figured $300AUD isn't too much to spend on something I'll used daily considering I drop more than that on clothing I wear once a week.

                                  Love those copper V60's.

                                  Does anyone here do the Wave? Not that I'm looking @ changing methods for at least another year, however, haven't heard of 'real' people using it..

                                    I just use a Porlex hand grinder, but to be honest, every couple of weeks when I "re-up" I tend to ask them to just grind the beans for me :S

                                    Tempted by a Baratza but I drink more in work so the having the ground done by the supplier is a lot easier… Maybe if I ever work from home I'd get one.

                                        Hope I can be in a position to get a trade going soon mate.

                                        Will be flying around a bit over the next few weeks so can't really commit 😢
